Swallowing of a Chicken Bone. Posted: 01-16-04 22:36pm
Hello, I know this sounds terrible, but
my son got ahold of a small chicken bone,
and he choked on it, I tried to get it
out, but I only pushed it down. He
doesnt seem to be in any pain, and I
called my mother in law, she is a medical
assistant, and she said it isn't anything
to worry about because his body will
digest it, and his acids will eat it up,
but I can't help but worry. Is there
anything that can happen? Should I be
concerned or am I overexaggerating ?
Please help me. Im just so afraid that
the sharpness is going to punch a whole in
something.

Well it is hard to help without knowing
both(!) your sons age & size? Also
exactly what size & type of chicken
bone?? But as a mother for me the bottom
line is for children's safety & a
medical assistant isn't a dr & doesn't
have medical equipment or knowledge to
assist her to actually examine your son
much less take an x-ray!!
